     Hey, I have a RadMenu, and what I'm trying to do is to put a RadButtonElement inside a RadMenuItem, but I can't find where and how to do it right, since it aways go to wrong position. This was my last try:

var item = new RadButtonElement
            {
                Text = "?",
                CaptureOnMouseDown = true,
                ShouldHandleMouseInput = true,
                StretchHorizontally = false,
                StretchVertically = true,
                NotifyParentOnMouseInput = false,
                Margin = new Padding(5),
                Alignment  = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight,
            };
            item.Font = new Font(item.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
            item.Click += Item_Click;
            btnCotacao.Layout.Children.Add(item);

Hello!

I am experiencing some problems using custom RadDiagramShapes. What i am trying to achieve is a custom shape, that provides multiple TextAreas that show different information. Therefore, i implemented an ElementShape and a RadDiagram shape. The ElementShape uses the AddString Method of the graphicspath to add my TextAreas, and the RadDiagramShape uses this ElementShape and sets the InternalElementColor.

 

The problem with this is, that i can not click to select or drag my custom RadDiagramShape anywhere because the TextAreas cover the majority of the Shape, and when selecting any transparent spaces (generated from the AddString method) the underlying element will be selected. 

 

Can you give me an idea of how to add such TextAreas to my control without generating lots of transparent / unclickable spaces?

 

Thank you

Fabian

Hi all,

I’m trying to simulate the MaxLength property (which is no longer available) on a RadMaskEditBox and I use:
radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = MaskType.Standard; 
radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = “aaaaa”;

I set programmatically a first value in my RadMaskedEditBox1, “ABCDE”. The displayed value on my control is, as expected, “ABCDE”. 

Then I try to set another value, "XX”, and I notice that de displayed value of the control is “XXCDE”.

Any idea? How can I use masks to limit the chars n° in the RadMaskEditBox?
Thank you

Good morning,

Is there a limit to the number of tabs  in the exported file?

I have a multipart report that has 12 grids I need to export to the same excel doc.

On the 5th grid export it is just sitting there , no errors just hangs.

Most grids have 20 - 30 records but 2 can have a couple of 100Ks records.

Is this the issue?

Hello

I need a drag Drop from gridview to listview.

I have followed the code from the documentation and everything works finew up to the drop on the ListView where I fail to identify the row of the listview into which the drops occurs.

I have the following code (copied from Telerik's documentaiton)

                    targetCell.Text = srcRow.RowInfo.Cells("Name").Value
                    Dim targetElement As DetailListViewElement = TryCast(e.HitTarget, DetailListViewElement)
                    Dim targetVisualItem As BaseListViewVisualItem = targetCell.RowElement
                    Dim insertIndex As Integer = targetCell.Row.ListView.Items.IndexOf(targetVisualItem.Data)

and I get an error on .row and .rowelement which are "not members ..."

Am I missing a reference or is it a change of the components ?

I need to get the row of the listview when I perform the drom on the cell

Thanks in advance for any advice

Best Regards

Pierre-Jean

Hi,

 I'm trying to migrate an app that was written in WPF using default tree view to Telerik UI WinForms RadTreeView. For the default tree that has been used previously I had an ObservableCollection to which I could add items and the change would be displayed in the TreeView immediately without me triggering any update method. However, with the Telerik's solution, when I set the DataSource to the observable collection, no change is visible even though that observable collection has been modified.

The final result that needs to be achieved is to be able to display folder structure on a disc. Now obviously, I don't want to load a folder and all of its subfolders at once, but rather only load the content when the user decides to open the given folder.

Can this be achieved using ObservableCollection and without the need of triggering some sort of update method?

Thanks

I just updated to the latest Winforms release and now none of the Winforms will open in the designer.  All have the same error message (attached in the screenshot as well).

Hi,

I'm using Telerik version 2020.3.918.1, in Visual Studio version 16.1.1, and getting the following error when trying to export a radgridview to excel in VB.net: 

System Entry Point Not Found. 

on the line:          spreadExporter.RunExport(fileName, exportRenderer)

I am able to export using Telerik export process using a solution that Dess provided on another thread, but it was in C#.    When I change the code to VB, and use the same references, I get this error.   I get the same error when I create a quick project from scratch (add a grid, load it, add references, and export...)   (Code below)

Any ideas?   Thanks, Evan 

 

References include:  Telerik.WinControls, Telerik.WinControls.GridView, Telerik.WinControls.UI, Telerik.Common, and Telerik.Export

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imports Telerik.WinControls.Export

  Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        'Dim spreadExporter As GridViewSpreadExport = New GridViewSpreadExport(RadGridView1)
        'Dim exportRenderer As New SpreadExportRenderer()
        'spreadExporter.RunExport("exportedFile.xlsx", exportRenderer)

        'Dim exportFile As String = "..\..\exportedData.xlsx"
        'Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
        '    Dim exporter As New Telerik.WinControls.Export.GridViewSpreadExport(Me.RadGridView1)
        '    Dim renderer As New Telerik.WinControls.Export.SpreadExportRenderer()
        '    exporter.RunExport(ms, renderer)

        '    Using fileStream As New System.IO.FileStream(exportFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
        '        ms.WriteTo(fileStream)
        '    End Using
        'End Using

        Dim fileName As String = "..\..\exported" & DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString().Replace(":", "_") & ".xlsx"
        Dim spreadExporter As GridViewSpreadExport = New GridViewSpreadExport(Me.RadGridView1)
        Dim exportRenderer As SpreadExportRenderer = New SpreadExportRenderer()
        'exportRenderer.WorkbookCreated += exportRenderer_WorkbookCreated
        spreadExporter.ExportVisualSettings = True
        spreadExporter.RunExport(fileName, exportRenderer)
        Process.Start(fileName)

    End Sub

Hi all,

I'm trying to customize an item,but I'm stuck, I hope someone could help...

What I need is to show inside my PropertyGrid a value (a string) with a button aside (the typical [...] ).

Clicking the button will open up a custom form, from which a new value can be selected.

So something like the following code, which I've found in another thread:

private void RadPropertyGrid1_EditorRequired(object sender, PropertyGridEditorRequiredEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.Name == "DatoStringa")
            {
                var editor = new PropertyGridBrowseEditor();
                var el = editor.EditorElement as RadBrowseEditorElement;
                el.DialogType = BrowseEditorDialogType.FolderBrowseDialog;
                e.Editor = editor;
            }
        }

 

That's fine, but I need a brand new form, not a predefined one.

Is this possible?

Thank you!
